Klaudia was awesome! Our elderly dog had a health crisis while she was caring for him, and she took him to the vet, was very good with communication, and really cared about our guy for 2 days while we made our way home early from vacation. Highest recommendation!!

Kathryn and Jeremy took excellent care of our dog Max while we were away for a week. From our first meeting with them, it was clear that they had experience taking care of dogs and were very understanding and knowledgable about our dogs unique care needs. We felt so comfortable leaving Max with them and when we picked him up it was clear he LOVED his time there and can't wait to see them again! Thank you Kathryn and Jeremy for taking such great care of Max!

Sean and Jill were great with Jack. They clearly knew how to take care of senior dogs, and went above and beyond to make sure Jack got comfortable with them since this was the first time they had him, and kept me in the loop with how he was doing. Would definitely rebook with them.

Katie was great! She was very nice and outgoing. She arranged a meet and greet prior to scheduled date and she interacted with my puppy well and brought her dog Storm to play with my puppy. When dropping my puppy off, her house was clean and spacious for Gumby’s stay. She listened to any specific requests related to Gumby. I enjoyed Katie and trusted her with my puppy. I will continue to use Katie as a dog sitter in the future.

Loved Jennifer! She was awesome and met me in the park to introduce Cooper to some of the other dogs she was currently watching prior to the stay. She gave regular updates and did a great job with socializing Cooper with other dogs. She is a great photographer and put together an album of the week. Loved her and wouldn’t use any other sitter!

She is an amazing sitter and Prince had an amazing stay! From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell he was in great hands. The sitter was attentive, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure he was comfortable and well taken care of. I received updates and could see that Prince was happy, relaxed, and getting lots of attention. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was being looked after by someone so reliable and kind. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Prince! Her back yard is extremely spacious with plenty of space for dogs to play and burn some energy as well! I would 1000/10 recommend Christle!

My dog did a lot of running around outside in his backyard and playing with the other dogs he was watching, but when it came time for me to pick him up he looked good as new. Brushed and came with an adorable handkerchief! He was great!

Estelle looked after our pug Henry for a weekend, and the entire time we were able to relax and feel confident that he was happy and in good hands. Her home is beautiful and set up really nicely for the dogs, with a large clean fenced-in yard to play in, and lots of toys and beds for them to occupy themselves. Her dogs are sweet and made Henry right at home. Estelle regularly sent photos and updates to let us know how he was doing. He was always treated like part of the family and I think for him it was just a fun weekend with friends. I will absolutely be boarding Henry with Estelle again and I couldn't recommend her highly enough.

Kelsey is wonderful. We knew Kelsey was a good match BUT we were 100% in when our two dogs were instantly relaxed with her . This is not the case more often than not for our Chi mix . Kelsey provides updates when she arrives and based on pictures she sends Milo and Lili are on totally board with their new friend. Even with current higher than normal temps, she is aware of the heat , pavement temp and keeping Lili and Milo in the shade so they do not overheat. Thank you Kelsey! This has been a huge help to us and we appreciate you taking good care of our furbabies. PS our cat, Waffles, seems to be passing on his overly rambunctious love to Kelsey also!!

Ricky was incredibly conscientious and good with our kitty and bunny. Our kitty had some medical issues come up the week prior to my departure, and Ricky stepped right up to the task. Gave our boy his meds, and was able to put a cone on him to put steroid crem on his tail. He befriended our boys quickly and seemed to enjoy their company as much as they enjoyed his. Ricky sent me updates and pics throughout his stay, and was quick to respond when I checked in. Our home was in order when we arrived home. I highly recommend Ricky. I am a bit bummed that he's leaving VT after college graduation next month, as we are in transition with pet sitters, as our one the past five years is heading to med school. Don't hesitate to book with Ricky!

I can’t say enough good things about Mika! Having someone come into your home and care for your pets requires a lot of trust, and she have exceeded every expectation. Mika is reliable, communicative, and clearly have a genuine love for animals. Frank & Harold were happy, well cared for, and comfortable in their own environment while I was away, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. I appreciated the updates, photos, and attention to detail, and it was obvious that my dog received plenty of love and attention. Coming home to a happy pet and a well-cared-for home was the best feeling. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter, and I will definitely be using her again!

About: While I'm unquestionably more a dog person my life has had no shortage of cats, my approach with them is very similar and influenced by my positive reinforcement based mindset with dogs. Family and friends have both trusted me with checking in on and taking care of their cats over the years and I enjoy it all the same. I'm a bit allergic to some but it's mild and takes about an hour or so of being in their space for it to be bothersome.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 12 and have experience with all kinds of personalities and ages, from puppies to senior dogs with medical needs. I currently have a senior dog myself, so I’m very patient, attentive, and comfortable with extra care routines. Friends and family always count on me first for pet sitting because I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like my own. I also have experience caring for cats and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My schedule is extremely flexible, so I’m able to accommodate all kinds of pet care needs including walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, puppy care, and senior pets who need extra attention. I make sure pets feel comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or a client’s home, they’ll get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day.

Klaudia and her crew welcomed our anxious pup for daycare and he came home happy and actually seems to a bit less reactive to other dogs after a day with Winston and Bruno! Klaudia checked in several times and sent photos, which we loved, showing Loofy getting lost of attention. We're looking forward to doing an overnight in the near future.

About: I have experience caring for different breeds and personalities, including a Bull Terrier, Border Collie, Belgian Malinois, and Bulldog. Each dog had a wonderful experience in my care, receiving plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and supervision. What sets me apart is the environment I can provide. My home is spacious, with plenty of room for dogs to relax and play comfortably. I also have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, explore, and enjoy outdoor time. I live directly across from A.W. Stanley Park, which allows me to take dogs on frequent walks, outdoor adventures, and play sessions throughout the day. This gives them plenty of physical activity and mental stimulation in a safe and enjoyable setting. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I treat each one like a member of my own family. My goal is to make sure every pet feels comfortable, happy, and loved while their owners are away. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Since I live directly across from A.W. Stanley Park, I can easily take dogs for regular walks and outdoor activities. In addition, my large fenced backyard gives them a safe space to play and exercise whenever needed. I understand that consistency is important for dogs, so I do my best to follow each pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and any special instructions provided by their owners. My goal is to make them feel comfortable, safe, and at home while they are in my care. 🐾 our pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. In my home, dogs are treated like family and are always supervised while enjoying indoor and outdoor activities. I have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and exercise. My home is clean, spacious, and pet-friendly, providing plenty of room for dogs to relax and feel comfortable. I also live directly across from A.W. Stanley Park, which allows for regular walks and outdoor enrichment in a beautiful environment. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and any special care requirements. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, and I make sure they receive the attention, patience, and care they deserve. Communication is very important to me, so I provide regular photo and video updates to give owners peace of mind while they are away. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for every pet in my care. 🐾❤️

About: Hi paw friends 🐾 I am somewhat new to Rover but I have grown up with dogs my entire life. I have always helped my family and friends care for their animals and I always enjoyed doing it. My husband and I got married four years ago and our little girl is three. It's so amazing to see her interact with the dogs because she gets more comfortable and happier each time. My husband and daughter are my best pet helpers when I am not around. Our family loves dogs and we will eventually get a dog when the time is right, but I love Rover because it’s give me the opportunity to still bond with pups. I truly love being around animals. Our families sometimes come to stay with us with their dogs and I get a crazy burst of happiness every time. Life is just better with a dog around and I would love to care and help with your pups! :) I know it can be tough trusting your animals in others hands but rest assured that your pet will be in great hands with me & I will send plenty of updates and pictures 📸🐾 I currently work part time (every weekend). So I am free to take care of your pups during the week and still on weekends when I’m home. My amazing husband and daughter are my best pet helpers when I am not around. I still offer some services on the weekends. I will care for the pet how the owner(s) want me to care for them. They will always bed fed, hydrated, clean, warm, and the happiest they can be in our home. Our home isn't that big so someone is always around. I am not much of an out-going person, I do have a good amount of friends but they all come to my house since I am the mama of the group :)

Left my baby for a trial stay. While it was hard to leave him literally crying Katie was so great about assuring me things had calmed down a few minutes later and all was good. I appreciated that peace of mind. Katie was also great about super responsive and timely communication. We would definitely reach out again.

Noel and Martha were absolutely wonderful! Their home is perfect for fur babies and our 7mo pup had an amazing time. He was exhausted by the end of the day after all the fun and play. They kept us updated throughout the day and sent plenty of photos showing him playing, eating, and relaxing. It was such a blessing to have peace of mind knowing he was being taken care of and enjoying himself at that. We highly recommend and will definitely rebook in the future!

Though new to Rover, Maritza was very good with our 15 yo Havanese Cisco for doggy daycare. There were two larger and younger dogs present as well. She’s working from home now, so she can take the dogs on frequent walks. She will soon have a large fenced in yard…even better! I will definitely use Maritza again, for overnights too.

We’ve been looking for an alternative to commercial daycare because our dog used to come home completely exhausted. With Janelle, we picked him up happy and relaxed, and I know he’d been well cared for all day, which made such a difference! She was very communicative and friendly, and we’d happily book with her again.

About: My fiancé and I are lifelong dog lovers and share our home with Maple, our friendly golden retriever. I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day in a calm home environment. I trained Maple myself, and she has earned her Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification. Because of this, I value structure, consistency, and good manners, and our home is best suited for well-trained adult dogs that enjoy a calm household environment. I specialize in caring for social, house-trained dogs in a low-volume setting. Unlike larger boarding environments, I typically only accept one client at a time, allowing dogs to receive individualized attention, regular outdoor breaks, daily walks, and a comfortable place to relax throughout their stay. I have experience with large breeds including golden retrievers and labs, as well as senior dogs that benefit from a quieter and more personalized environment. Cleanliness, safety, and reliability are very important to me, and I strive to make each dog feel comfortable and at home while maintaining structure and routine. Because I work from home during the week, dogs are rarely left alone and are able to follow a calm and consistent daily routine. Dogs receive regular potty breaks, outdoor time, walks, rest throughout the workday, and attentive supervision during their stay. I intentionally keep bookings low-volume so each dog receives individualized care and a quieter environment than a traditional boarding setting. My schedule is best suited for adult dogs that are comfortable settling in a home environment during the day and are accustomed to a consistent routine. Safety, consistency, and a calm environment are very important in our home. Because I only take a limited number of dogs at a time, I’m able to provide attentive supervision and maintain a structured routine throughout each stay. Dogs are always leashed outdoors since our yard is not fenced, and I prioritize slow, thoughtful introductions to help dogs feel comfortable and successful in the home. Maple is friendly and social with visiting dogs and settles quickly after introductions. To ensure a good fit for everyone, I typically accept dogs that are: • house trained • crate trained • friendly with people and other dogs • able to settle calmly indoors • on a consistent feeding schedule Dogs are welcome on furniture, can sleep in my room or in their crate, and are treated like part of the household while maintaining structure and supervision.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 12 and have experience with all kinds of personalities and ages, from puppies to senior dogs with medical needs. I currently have a senior dog myself, so I’m very patient, attentive, and comfortable with extra care routines. Friends and family always count on me first for pet sitting because I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like my own. I also have experience caring for cats and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My schedule is extremely flexible, so I’m able to accommodate all kinds of pet care needs including walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, puppy care, and senior pets who need extra attention. I make sure pets feel comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or a client’s home, they’ll get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats before I reached the age of double digits. Bruno was the first cat my family ever got, he was found in the rafters of our garage, he was so small he had to be nursed from a bottle. He won sweetest cat at the local library, and the next year we found Gus in our bushes on me and my twin brothers 6th birthday. We slyly convinced our mom he was a gift from God and we got to keep him! A couple years later, we dropped into the humane society and fell in love with a grey kitten, and of course, my brother and I pulled out our puppy dog eyes, and Junie B Fox Fire came home with us. It was a full house, three cats, two kids, and one mom. Eventually, it was time to convince my mom to get a dog. We ended up falling in love with a golden doodle and we named her Paisley. And finally, my brother and I felt satisfied with our Animal House. Our animals all lived long happy lives. Our three cats all passed away at 20, and Paisley at 16. They were always treated like family. Those 20 so years did not come without their scares. We had a few times the vet told us there was practically no hope, but Im convinced the love our family had for our animals bent reality, and every time, they were okay. Sometimes surgery was needed, other times just hope. But I am proud of the way I was raised to treat animals, and I thank my mom for that. In my 20s I moved in with my now ex fiance, and we got a dog together. An australian shepherd (I will adopt next time!), she was a puppy. We trained her, loved her, and I was her mom. Sprinkled through the years other cats entered our orbit as we took in family cats whose owner had passed. We became another animal house! unfortunately those cats were older so we got them on their ladder parts of life, and so when our apartment had no more cats, we decided it was time for a kitten! Together we raised our kitten Henry, and Aussie Skylo. I was their mom for about 7 years until we broke up, and tragically my ex stole them, and ran away with his mistress. There are no words for the black hole that left behind. It was right after the break up my family simultaneously lost three of our cats and our dog. Yes they lived a long life, but for the first time ever, I had NO animals in my care. I didn't know how empty that could feel! I don't want to make this a sob story, but I want to explain why you are just seeing a kitten in my photos. I moved to FL after the break up, and that is where I found Roary my now cat, who was 5 weeks old dodging cars in the middle of the busiest intersection in Fort Lauderdale. I was the only one on the ground to pick her up, I wasnt ready for a cat, but life did its life thing, and I am so blessed to have her by my side now. I am back in Florida, and ready for Rover! I am nurturing, thoughtful, attentive, and not to pat myself on the back.. but I do think I speak fluent animal. I would be so grateful for the opportunity to watch your beloved pet! I am currently free as a bird here in Florida. My availability is adaptable as I can fully commit to my time here on Rover! Safety always comes first. In your home, I follow your routine exactly; feeding, meds, and house rules. On walks I double check leashes, hold a tight grip, stay alert to traffic and other dogs, and never let your pet off leash. I'll send photo updates every visit so you always know your animal is safe and happy.

I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, feedings, playtime, and bathroom breaks, ensuring pets aren’t left alone for long. While I’m not offering overnight house sitting at the moment, I’m happy to provide house sittings during the day or evening. If I have a dog walk or drop-in, I may step out briefly and return. I will always keep my clients informed of my availability so they know they can rely on me. I love shaping my day around the pets I care for—whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening routines—so I can keep their comfort and consistency at the heart of everything I do. I take safety and trust very seriously and always care for pets as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I closely follow all instructions provided, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and house rules.

About: Hi paw friends 🐾 I am somewhat new to Rover but I have grown up with dogs my entire life. I have always helped my family and friends care for their animals and I always enjoyed doing it. My husband and I got married four years ago and our little girl is three. It's so amazing to see her interact with the dogs because she gets more comfortable and happier each time. My husband and daughter are my best pet helpers when I am not around. Our family loves dogs and we will eventually get a dog when the time is right, but I love Rover because it’s give me the opportunity to still bond with pups. I truly love being around animals. Our families sometimes come to stay with us with their dogs and I get a crazy burst of happiness every time. Life is just better with a dog around and I would love to care and help with your pups! :) I know it can be tough trusting your animals in others hands but rest assured that your pet will be in great hands with me & I will send plenty of updates and pictures 📸🐾 I currently work part time (every weekend). So I am free to take care of your pups during the week and still on weekends when I’m home. My amazing husband and daughter are my best pet helpers when I am not around. I still offer some services on the weekends. I will care for the pet how the owner(s) want me to care for them. They will always bed fed, hydrated, clean, warm, and the happiest they can be in our home. Our home isn't that big so someone is always around. I am not much of an out-going person, I do have a good amount of friends but they all come to my house since I am the mama of the group :)

About: I've raised my own cat, Bug, age 2, since he was 2 months old, alongside my roommate's cat whom I've lived with for 4 years. I've also raised over 30 houseplants and have vast knowledge of a variety of plants and their needs. Additionally, I've been around the many animals in my family my whole life and have sat for relatives' cats and dogs of all sizes over the years. I'm currently in between jobs as I relocate from North Carolina to Connecticut and ultimately back to NYC, so I have a pretty open schedule! Happy to alter my plans around pet care and house sitting. I'm also a gigging musician so there are sporadic nights and weekends that may become unavailable, but I am largely looking to be a sitter while I'm in CT. Willing and able to care for indoor/outdoor pets, go on walks, make sure cats and dogs get plenty of play and pets as desired, give treats, clean and maintain home spaces, and whatever else you may need!

Katie was great! She was very nice and outgoing. She arranged a meet and greet prior to scheduled date and she interacted with my puppy well and brought her dog Storm to play with my puppy. When dropping my puppy off, her house was clean and spacious for Gumby’s stay. She listened to any specific requests related to Gumby. I enjoyed Katie and trusted her with my puppy. I will continue to use Katie as a dog sitter in the future.

Great first experience! Thanks Wendy for being so responsive. Dog friendly home and yard. This was one of the first experiences our rescue dog had with another dog, and all went well. We will definitely book again!

Noel and family were great for Bamboo! Their place is very well set up for dogs, and they were extremely attentive and communicative sitters. Highly recommend!

She is an amazing sitter and Prince had an amazing stay! From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell he was in great hands. The sitter was attentive, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure he was comfortable and well taken care of. I received updates and could see that Prince was happy, relaxed, and getting lots of attention. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was being looked after by someone so reliable and kind. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Prince! Her back yard is extremely spacious with plenty of space for dogs to play and burn some energy as well! I would 1000/10 recommend Christle!

Jim is a godsend. He understood our dogs needs, and treated him like his own. We couldn’t be happier, and look forward to seeing Jim and his family again soon!

Would highly recommend!! Ifan was great with Pierre and was very responsive when I asked for pictures and videos during his stay. My dog did a lot of running around outside in his backyard and playing with the other dogs he was watching, but when it came time for me to pick him up he looked good as new. Brushed and came with an adorable handkerchief! He was great!

Careen was wonderful with our senior dog and he loved her just as much as she loved him! She gave him lots of love and attention- I could tell he was very well cared for while we were away. We got lots of pictures and updates so I was completely at ease. We can’t wait to have Careen watch Shadow again!

We found Anita and her wonderful family through Rover, and we are beyond grateful for the love and care they provide our dogs. Donnie and Nora absolutely love staying with them, and it’s clear they feel comfortable, happy, and truly at home. Anita keeps us updated with frequent photos and messages, which gives us complete peace of mind every time we’re away. Her family is incredibly kind, and their two daughters adore our dogs—it’s so special knowing our pups are not just being watched, but genuinely loved. We never have a single worry when Donnie and Nora are with Anita, and that level of trust is priceless. We will absolutely continue booking with Anita and her family for all future needs. I highly recommend them and can say with complete confidence that your pet will be in the very best hands.

What a life saver!! She was able to watch my dog last minute before me and my fiance missed our flights. We had another Rover sitter that was unable to take care of our Taz last minute and from the minute we dropped Taz off I felt like he was in good hands with educated dog lovers that knew what they were doing. It was our dog first time in another home and I was so nervous that he would be scared but she sent pictures and he got to go outside. Will be using her again for sure!! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ?

We had a great experience with Kate! Our dog, Sampson, stayed in her home and was very well cared for. Communication was easy and consistent, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our pup was in good hands. Sampson is pretty easygoing, but it was clear he was treated with attention and kindness. We will definitely book with them again.

Jaylese took wonderful care of my dog while I was away on vacation. She asked a lot of great questions upfront to ensure Zander would be properly cared for and attended to throughout his stay. Jaylese was very caring and thoughtful, always sending pics and updates. I could tell he got plenty of love and activity throughout his stay. I would not hesitate to use her services again and recommend her to others.

About: I grew up with dogs. I had a Great Dane that lived to be 12. I currently have a mini bernedoodle that is almost 5 years old. I also have a bunny. I currently work full-time and am available on Saturday and Sunday for boarding and dog walking. From late June through August, my schedule is more flexible. I will be available daily. I live in a quiet neighborhood in a cul-de-sac with a fenced-in yard. I have a very friendly mini Bernedoodle. I love dogs that play and lazy dogs that just like to chill.

Sherry is the best dog sitter I have ever used! She’s all about making sure your pet is well cared for. Nugget, my chihuahua, absolutely loves her! She cries when we pull into her driveway because she’s so excited and once she sees Sherry, she jumps all over her giving her love and kisses. Sherry will work with you to get your pet used to her before providing a service. Sherry is all about what’s best for your pet. I’m always so relaxed when Nugget is with her because I know she’s having fun and being well cared for. Sherry is AWESOME!!!! I highly recommend her!!!

I’ve used Karine twice now with my golden retriever Thor, and am finally comfortable leaving him with someone else. It’s clear she cares about Thor and takes excellent care of him. He has a blast with her, which is evident in all the pictures she shares and his mood upon pickup. This is truly a home away from home for Thor, and he’ll be back for sure.

Second time my dog has stayed with Zoe and he comes home smiling! Very relaxed environment, and she was flexible with flight delays. Couldn’t be happier with our experience.

Absulotely the best experience ever! We were in a bit of a bind having found our dream rescue dog, but also had a wedding a week away. Maria came to the rescue and was able to accomodate our last minute needs and was flexible about dropping him off and picking up. She clearly loves what she does and we know Scooby got pampered! Loved the updates too! Super responsive! Scooby can’t wait to go back next time we are in need of a boarder!
